WA to join the nationally-delivered NDIS

On 12 December 2017, the Commonwealth and Western Australian governments agreed that WA will join the nationally delivered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This announcement replaces the previous agreement signed in January 2017 for Western Australia to administer the NDIS. From 1 July 2018, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will assume responsibility for the delivery of the NDIS in Western Australia. The NDIS will continue to be implemented on a geographic basis by NDIA and will be fully rolled out across WA by 2020.

Carers WA continues to support carers to understand the NDIS in WA and build their capacity to support the people they care for to ensure the best outcomes within an individual NDIS in WA package of supports.
